The Photoshop team today just changed the game with their latest update to PS by enabling smart objects to be shared across multiple files and automatically kept in sync. If used properly, I believe this feature will be one of the most valuable additions to the application in recent years. The way that Adobe set […]

Paul Boag gave a great talk about working with (not dealing with) clients at Future Insights Live 2012 that I wish I could’ve heard years ago. His insights were so good that I had to share them. I hope the web design community can rally behind some of these ideas. Even though I now work for […]

Though they are all certainly useful and have their place, there’s one I’ve been relying on more and more, called Font Squirrel. The reason why I like Font Squirrel so much is because they […]

Above you can see a styled font from a recent project we did that has been ruined by CSS. We embeded this font using @font-face (which is much more consistent than a js/flash embed). The image above is using the default H3 tag which likes to bolden things and ruin your great looking fonts. The […]

I’ve been trying out CS5 for the past couple weeks and overall seen a lot of things that are nice, but not really worth the cost of the upgrade. The main reason I decided to check it out was because of Photoshop CS4 has a nasty habit of taking all my iMac’s resources and basically […]
